The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming and the wind is blowing so it’s not so hot! I’m a very cheerful camper this morning and it makes me love spring. And I want others to love spring too!
It’s all pretty and pink and sunshiny! I actually took this picture in a cemetery and I was standing on tiptoes to snap this there was a huge groaning noise behind me and for a moment I thought I was in the middle of an episode of Supernatural and a body had just crawled out of the grave. Turns out it was a someone trying to ride their bike up the big hill behind me, but this picture will now always remind me of spring…and zombies.
These yellow flowers are on a Forsythia bush…or as I called them as a kid, yellow flower bushes. These bushes were all over Huntley Villa when I was a kid, and we had two right outside our living room window. They were tall enough to provide shade and privacy and they reflected green and yellows into our house during sunny days. For us kids they were playgrounds, castles, forts and prisons. We used them for home bases during tag and hide-and-go-seek, we used them as cover when we were spying on the neighborhood bully and I’m sure our mothers got tired of us bringing home yellow flower bush bouquets during the summer. Every time I see these bushes blooming, it always brings me back to childhood and those carefree days laying under their shade.
